Hey everybody! Check out my most recent talk at @smashingconf where I delve into existential dread and ask the question: "When will AI replace us?" youtube.com/watch?v=8mnCC7…

@dhh Missing an intel MacBook Pro!

The stack of Omarchy test laptops keep growing! Much appreciation to all the companies that have sent sample units, so we can get perfect out-of-the-box compatibility with as many machines as possible.

Sci-fi reader friends, I’m deciding my next book. I haven’t read any of these. Which would you recommend first?

Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems. AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency. This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work. We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government. Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution. The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.

@heynavtoor You realise that the bw cli (which is compatible with vw) was just hacked and this would affect users even if they're self hosting?

LastPass was breached in 2022. Hackers stole the encrypted password vaults of 25 million users. Then they started cracking them. In January 2024, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen lost $150 million in XRP to attackers who cracked his LastPass vault. By December 2025, blockchain analysts at TRM Labs traced over $438 million in cryptocurrency thefts back to that single breach. LastPass paid $24.5 million to settle the class action. Your passwords. Your credit cards. Your bank logins. Your crypto keys. Stored on a company's server. Breached. Downloaded. Cracked. Used against you. For years. 1Password: prices going up 33% starting March 2026. Bitwarden Families: $47.88/year. LastPass Premium: $36/year. All of them store your vault on THEIR servers. There is an open-source alternative. Your vault lives on YOUR server. Nobody else can access it. Nobody else can breach it. Nobody else can sell the encrypted backup to criminals. It is called Vaultwarden. 58,700+ stars on GitHub. A lightweight Rust implementation of the Bitwarden server API. It works with every official Bitwarden app. Browser extensions, mobile, desktop, CLI. You point them at your server instead of Bitwarden's cloud. That is it. Here is what it does: → Full password vault. Logins, cards, identities, secure notes. → Works with every Bitwarden client. iOS, Android, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Windows, Mac, Linux. → TOTP authenticator built in. No separate 2FA app needed. → Password sharing. Organizations, collections, roles, groups. → Emergency Access. Give a trusted person access if something happens to you. → Send. Share encrypted text or files with self-destructing links. → FIDO2, YubiKey, Duo, and Email 2FA. → AES-256 end-to-end encryption. Your master password never leaves your device. → Single Docker container. 50 MB of RAM at idle. Here's the wildest part: Bitwarden's official self-hosted server needs 11 separate Docker containers to run. Vaultwarden is one container. One Rust binary. Less memory than a single Chrome tab. All the premium features Bitwarden charges for are free on Vaultwarden. TOTP. Send. Emergency Access. Vault Health Reports. Organizations. All of it. One of the active Vaultwarden maintainers is employed by Bitwarden and contributes on their own time. Vaultwarden: $0. Unlimited users. All premium features. Runs on a $5 VPS. Runs on a Raspberry Pi. 2,700+ forks. 81 releases. 83% Rust. AGPL-3.0 license. Your passwords. Your hardware. Your keys. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

@dhh Yeah that makes sense, I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that I'm just making less interventions in production code when I review it as well. Fun times for sure.

@kevincoyle Not for something like Omarchy. I still review everything. But I have done some vibe adventures on less critical projects where I don't.

Dev bliss: Neovim in the center flanked by Kimi and Claude. Gotta love that TUI life 😍

@atticusfinch104 @JuliaHB1 Turkey didn’t exist then. Don’t you mean the Roman Empire? He was born in Cappadocia around 280 AD. Surely accuracy matters in such important details like this?

@JuliaHB1 St George was born in Turkey and is the patron saint of Palestine St George never visited England St George represnts much of Europe, the middle east and Africa If St George came here today, Reform UK would deport him Happy St George’s day

Small point, worth making, but there's actually no such thing as a saint. It's just made-up religious gobbledegook nonsense. You're welcome. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@ChShersh Congrats. God save the King! 🇬🇧

Today, I finally became a British citizen 🇬🇧 A huge milestone and a lifelong dream. God bless the king.

@wesbos Nah.

Do British devs say “under the bonnet”?

@HighKirkAnglo @lukerobertblack The original is available. He changed the sky from cloudy to clear and sunny

@lukerobertblack The people are in the following images of his post. It looks like he’s done an AI upscale, but either way it looks sloppy and shouldn’t be done

These are AI generated images. These people aren’t real. This image isn’t real. Voters deserve so much better than this.

@WaterRabbitt @HuddlestonNigel Did you read any of this AI slip before you posted it?

@HuddlestonNigel Reforms delusional policy's are Undeliverable.

Anyone ever thinking of voting Reform again in Worcestershire, please remember this: They put up your Council tax by 9% after promising to cut it. Their leader, Mr Farage then said he wished they 'hadn't bothered' taking control of Worcestershire Council. And now they've appointed Alan Amos with these 'interesting views' as Council leader.

@sesigl Always UTC in the db and then convert

Your app needs to support time zones. Two approaches: 1. Store everything UTC in DB, convert at API layer 2. Store user's time zone per record, query converted Which approach and why?

The one thing I'm glad for AI is that I never have to re-learn regular expressions for the 20th time.

@georgethefourth @bbcdoctorwho @bigfinish @DWASonline Ha that’s a blast from the past. Nice work

Do you remember those old Tardis Cam sequences we saw online in the Doctor Who 'wilderness years?' Here's my tribute to those. @bbcdoctorwho @bigfinish @DWASonline

@stolinski Claude code? Honestly I miss using opencode with Claude models

@tomhfh You can still buy plastic straws online btw

Has anyone polled the public on how hated the stupid attached bottle cap thing is? Or on useless paper straws? Interested to see public attitudes here.

@davepl1968 Something that a good bowl of chicken soup will cure

I have a VERY informal IQ test that pegs you at least at 120: "Define contingency"

@SBarrettBar Someone should make a tl;dr browser extension

Please stop tweeting fucking essays.

@thekitze Yup. The loss of anthropic models killed the buzz

the openclaw hype is completely dead, wow

@PolitlcsUK Didn’t Jamie Oliver already ruin school dinners?

🚨 NEW: Fried food including chicken nuggets and fish and chips will be banned from being served in schools to reduce obesity Pizza and sausage rolls will be severely limited, and desserts will also need to be at least 50% fruit
